I would definitely choose the pair of earrings and give it just the right company by putting over a perfectly fitted salwar kameez for a causal holi celebration at home or give it a 'classy holi' look by throwing a pair of white jeans with tank top and a well fitted semi causal blazer.

The stark whiteness of the attire with a perfect splash of colors in the earring, would give a different look to me altogether. Also, it would also give a diverse look when people notice the pearl in the midst of bindhani green and pink stones with intricate work of silver stones and perfectly lined with golden.

Holi is associated with colours, water, balloons, thandai and so on. This year, however, I think we should look at it from a different perspective all together.

Out of the three, I relate Holi to the Emerald Green Ring because that is how I aspire our state to be. With acute scarcity of water and all bore wells running dry in most of the places in Maharashtra, I do not think we can afford to waste water by throwing it on each other and playing in it on this Holi. With crops drying up and people surviving on less than a bucket per day, it will be a shame to throw water balloons and dance in the rain dances like every other year.

The green emerald ring reminds me of the green crops of my state and also makes me realize that the condition is not the same anymore. It urges me to step forward and take measures to save water in whatever way I can. It insists that I step forward and spread this message to how many ever people I can.

So guys, this Holi, we will play with colours, drink thandai, spend time with our family and friends and we will save as much water as we can. Remember, we cannot create water but we can definitely save some and by doing this we can also pay tribute to all those going through a tough time due to the lack of water. And last but not the least, it will, in some way, contribute towards making our state shine like the intricately designed Emerald Green Ring.

Holi Hain... The thought of Holi makes me Smile... :)If I had to buy something out of the three really adoring pieces of Jewellery for Holi..I would go for the Pink and Green Drops. Pink and Green are the most prominent colors of Gulal. If I think of Holi pink is the color I think of ..Hence I would Opt for a Green and Pink ear piece.

Holi - the festival of colors - is undoubtedly the most fun-filled and boisterous of Hindu festival. It's an occasion that brings in unadulterated joy and mirth, fun and play, music and dance, and, of course, lots of bright colors!And thinking of bright Colors, out of the three adoring jewellery pieces the Pink and Green ears drops are the one I would love to own on Holi..Pink is the Color I remember as soon as I remember Holi..Green and Pink are the most dominant colors in Gulal. And if I wear these drops while playing holi these might not even get dirty... :P

Everybody gets delighted at the arrival of Holi as the season itself is so happy & gay. Holi is also called the Spring Festival - as it marks the arrival of spring, the season of hope and joy. The gloom of the winter goes as Holi promises of bright summer days. Nature too, it seems rejoices at the arrival of Holi and wears its best clothes. Fields get filled with crops promising a good harvest to the farmers and flowers bloom colouring the surroundings and filling fragrance in the air.So in the same way I identify the Green Emerald ring to Holi as this brings joy to my face, makes me feel happy and it adds a splash of colour to an elegant attire and is the cynosure of all eyes. Just love it.Em@il: vriddhi2003@yahoo.com avaniashah@rediffmail.com

Holi - signifies the colors of nature embedded in our lives. Of all the vibrant colors of nature, green is what identifies with the inner soul, peace and tranquility. For sure I will identify myself with the emerald crown ring - a classy artwork with a Midas touch. Who would not want to wear this magnificient and a 'never seen before' masterpiece to get the envy of the friends. This ring is certianly a priced possession and a dream of any women in the town .

Holi is the festival of fondness,happiness and spreading color in life where we all get together and have a good time and the same colorfulness and happiness and bonding i can see in those beautiful bangles or kadas which seeing makes you happy with its intrinsic designs and colors going with the spirit of holi and the inter wind bonding of the designs is like the big get together we do on holis and spread joy and love !!!!

Holi ayyi reeeeee..Happy Holi to all...Holi is the festival of colours, each and every colour has a meaning in everyone's life..each colour has its unique identity..holi reminds us of spreading colours in everyone's life..and bring in happiness.Hence I would vote for the emerald ring..that displays its marvellous marsterpiece with intricate design woven into a beatiful ring..

i would always prefer rings, as i am a die hard fan of rings. the reason being, my love had expressed his love to me in the form of a twig of rose (shaped in the form of a ring). more over my favourite colour is green. rings always express love and connects the hearts to hearts.....

The earrings up there truly reflect the true spirit of holi which are colorful and the variety of shapes and designs in the three segments of the earring depict the various people from kids to adult from various section of the society to have a joyful get together and look colorful and joyful as you feel looking at the earring, for me it is the best among the three depicting true spirit of Holi !!

As Holi is the festival of colours, my choice would definitely be pair of ear-rings, as it has beautiful colours of pink, green,white & gold. where,

PINK is the colour of friendliness. GREEN signifies vitality and prosperity. WHITE signifies purity & last but not the least GOLD (nothing but yellow) which signifies pious feeling. email: reemaraj2000@gmail.comP.S-already a fan of minawala and now liked the page FTLOFAOT

Holi celebration takes place with lot of joy and verve throughout the country. The enthusiasm of the people reaches its peak and matches with the nature which is in full bounty at the time of Holi.Holi is being celebrated in India since time immemorial but the popularity of Holi celebrations seems to be rising with every passing year and so is the level of hoo-ha. As no other festival gives so much liberty to the people to let their hair loose and enjoy their hidden crazy self.With this I choose the earrings as I identify these pair with holi.Holi being the festival in India where people find "Unity In Diversity" as the earrings symbolise with different splash of colours, shapes and materials in it.These pair of earrings can add drama to any outfit be it simple or fancy, traditional or western and get wooed by everyone.E-m@il: divyasavla@gmail.com

I can totally relate to the emerald stacked ring being perfect for holi - wearing this would feel like you are armed and dangerous, also adds an edgy look, that's what we want to be for holi don't we : being rad ;)and besides this, color green symbolizes nature, freshness, hope, inexperience, emerald is the symbol of sophistication and luxury at the same time. Also, a color that is a sign of healing and harmony which we truly need during the crucial times our economies are facing. The diamante just adds to extra brightness. It's an all rounder. :)xx

Is the contest over?? Anyways if its Holi it has to be stunning and colorful...what better than the earring which has the gulaabi of gulaal and the green of prosperity. A delightful combo that will go well with the colorful face of Holi and add to its delight :)Even the Nature would get jealous when I reflect its color back in greater glory :)
